Hello.

Grotesk.co.uk is no more. I have put to rest the slightly quirky, slightly awkward domain name and branding that has been my personal portfolio since 2004 (winning a coveted FWA award in it’s first iteration).

I recently designed this printed packaging for Scar Racing, for their motorcycle suspension fork pump. Usually I create the artwork for a card template provided, this time however I had to create the card pattern with cut-outs to accept the product and test it works (and hangs correctly), which added a little more interest to the project. I also had to make a vector illustration of the pump for the reverse side.

Hopefully I'll be able to post up a photo with the actual product affixed in the not too distant future.

I've been working on some new helmet designs with a large manufacturer based in Asia. I'm unsure of the release date so for now here are a few teaser photos of some samples that I've been sent just recently.

Arnaud from Scar Racing made contact to discuss some print adverts that he wanted to run, which was a nice prospect for me because although I do fairly regular work for Scar, I’d not created any print adverts for several years. To whet my creative appetite even more I was provided with a some fantastic photographic assets of World MX2 Championship rider Jose Butron which if a little ‘samey’ were nonetheless beautifully shot.

The language barrier can make a clear brief from Arnaud somewhat tricky (my lack of French is far greater than his lack of English by the way), but I think by now I have a very strong understanding of what is required for the Scar brand –the adverts formed a series with the main draw being the Butron shots, combined with product on a clean background and strong typography.

The University of Cambridge Alumni Relations Office provide benefits, services and information to engage alumni with the university and the city. The communications and marketing department needed a series of promotional banners for display at graduation ceremonies to encourage interaction with graduates, and to promote the benefits available. The banners featured carefully sourced photography that was unmistakably Cambridge.
